First African Holdings (FAH) has been manufacturing pylons for many years and has many examples installed across Africa which are still looking very good. One example is the Shell Bushbuck Ridge pylon in Mpumalanga that was installed over 15 years ago and is still going strong.

According to George Molakeng, Technical Manager at FAH, they often receive requests for quotations on pylons, without any specifications of what is required.
